ADW [problem loading with widget]

carlo67 · January 7th, 2012, 01:11 AM

Hi
I have ADWLauncher EX 1.3.3.56
I had to do restored it but I have problems with [problem loading with widget]
I do back up my launcher settings, but widgets do not get restored on Android.
Anyone else having this issue, and know what might be causing it and what the fix might be?

Are the widget apps stored in SD card? If they are then this is normal. Never store widgets, or apps that uses active widgets on the SD card, because the widgets won't load every time you reboot the phone.

I think widget apps stored in SD card in tablet [galaxy tab7]

I found about this last night, had to move the apps running the widgets back to my phone.

No, you need them in the "internal phone storage", whatever that is called on your Galaxy Tab. It should around 2 or 3Gb in size, separate from the internal SD. It shouldn't be on ANY SD at all.

carlo67 · January 7th, 2012, 02:32 AM

all the apps are on internal phone storage

chanchan05 · January 7th, 2012, 02:54 AM

Do you have the Apps 2 SD app? Download that and check. Sometimes the device installs them directly to the mass storage without asking.

carlo67 · January 7th, 2012, 03:41 AM

I have the App 2 SD Pro (move apps to SD) v2.43 some of the apps are on internal phone storage but the apps problem loading with widges are internal phone storage

have you got other ideas please

chanchan05 · January 7th, 2012, 04:40 AM

Could you tell me what apps these are? I'll try to look at them.

ADW does not restore widgets to the homescreen properly most of the time. You need to remove the "Widget not loading" icons and replace the widgets manually.

carlo67 · January 7th, 2012, 03:57 PM

geez re-add the widget again geez I got lot of widgets
must be easy way

chanchan05 · January 7th, 2012, 07:14 PM

you could always switch launchers.

carlo67 · January 7th, 2012, 07:20 PM

which one?

chanchan05 · January 7th, 2012, 08:17 PM

Go Launcher or Launcher Pro.

I've encountered the same problem as the OP has, in the past. I'm not currently using it, bit when I've seen that behavior it was with ADW. I think the easiest solution is to try out one or two widgets on another launcher.

carlo67 · January 8th, 2012, 02:27 AM

here is my screen ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting
why 2 widgets are ok?

carlo67 · January 8th, 2012, 08:38 PM

why there is backup and restore options?

carlo67 · January 9th, 2012, 10:09 PM

does anybody knows

chanchan05 · January 9th, 2012, 10:25 PM

We're not developers of the app, but it was already stated that this is a known behavior on ADW, where some widgets just not work well with it. Basically the reason why I don't use ADW.

carlo67 · January 13th, 2012, 12:08 AM

guess what the GO Launcher EX got the backup and restore options and I tried GO Launcher EX and I tried the backup and restore options.I made widget on home screen and made a backup settings and than I deleted widget off home screen and I tried restore it I am getting same thing [problem loading with widget] lol geez

carlo67 · January 16th, 2012, 01:34 AM

this is really stupid.
have anybody know how to fix it?

Dual2thecore · January 16th, 2012, 01:40 AM

I just deleted the widget, replaced them, & it worked perfectly fine.
Make sure you delete them from your screen.

carlo67 · January 16th, 2012, 02:13 AM

did you deleted or restored ?

I got adw backup .I can't restore

Dual2thecore · January 16th, 2012, 02:24 AM

I deleted the widgets from my screen, & replaced them.
I didn't need to backup anything.

-long touch widget, delete.
-long touch on screen, add widgets.
Simple as that for me.

carlo67 · January 16th, 2012, 02:33 AM

I had lot of widgets on screen I have 4 screens.
I got adw backup .I can't restore

Dual2thecore · January 16th, 2012, 02:50 AM

I have 5 screens, & what I did worked for me.
If it doesn't work for you I don't know what else to tell you.
I'm a noob to all this too.

carlo67 · January 16th, 2012, 03:17 AM

you do this
do adw backup [both options] '
than delete all of your screens and widgets than try restore your adw backup

see what happens

Dual2thecore · January 16th, 2012, 03:45 AM

Why so I need to do that?
My widgets are working fine, after I did what I told you to do.
If thats not working for your, maybe someone else can try to help.

Dual2thecore · January 16th, 2012, 03:48 AM

Did you even try what I said?

carlo67 · January 17th, 2012, 01:38 AM

I found something out.
when I put something on the home screen from APP DRAWER.
when I restored it and it is ok..

why it doesn't work with widgets?

carlo67 · February 9th, 2012, 09:16 PM
